Avenue planting means planting rows of trees along roads, streets, or pathways to provide shade, reduce air pollution, and beautify the surroundings.
One good example of a tree widely used for avenue planting is the Neem tree (Azadirachta indica).
Neem trees are hardy, grow well in various climates, and provide thick, cool shade which is ideal for roadsides.
Other trees commonly planted as avenue trees include Gulmohar (Delonix regia), Ashoka (Polyalthia longifolia), and Pipal (Ficus religiosa).
Such trees are chosen for their straight trunks, spreading branches, and ability to withstand pruning and urban conditions.
They also help control dust and noise pollution along busy roads.
